Situation:St Bernard’s Crescent (James Milne, 1824) enjoys a superb location within the original Raeburn Estate adjacent to the village atmosphere of cosmopolitan Stockbridge with its lively mix of specialist shops, restaurants and bars. Close by are the open spaces of The Royal Botanic Garden and Inverleith Park in addition to the riverside walk to Dean Village and beyond. A short walk southwards takes you to Princes Street, Charlotte Square and the West End while there is easy access to the city by-pass and Edinburgh Airport to the north.

Histroical Note:3-35 St Bernard’s Crescent is a prominent and finely detailed terrace forming part of an outstanding example of early 19th century urban planning with a classical design scheme by prominent architect James Milne. The 3-storey centrepiece is particularly prominent and was thought to be the grandest on any private building in Edinburgh when it was completed. The overall design is well proportioned, with simple classical detailing, including the use of Greek sources for the colonnade which forms a continuous theme on both sides of the terrace. The terrace was designed as a key part of the development of the land of Sir Henry Raeburn. The design uses a crescented northern side and slightly inclined corner blocks to create a lozenge shaped urban crescent with a small garden ground provided to the centre. The terrace is an integral part of Edinburgh’s New Town, which is an outstanding example of classical urban planning that was influential throughout Britain and Europe. The design of a double crescent was suggested by Sir David Wilkie in order to preserve a portion of the avenue of elms that had led to Deanhaugh House. The crescent was quickly acknowledged as one of the grandest in Edinburgh, especially for the centrepiece of the northern side of the New Town.

Description:The first floor flat at 17 St. Bernard’s Crescent forms part of a grand Georgian townhouse set on a peaceful tree lined crescent and features original and reproduction characteristics including sash and case astragal windows with working shutters and Juliet balconies to the front, simple plasterwork, and a timber mantelpiece in the drawing room. A spacious shared stone flagged reception hall provides access to a well maintained central stone stair, with detailed cast iron balustrade and timber handrail. A large roof light with decorative plasterwork beneath floods the stair with natural light.

Entrance into the first floor flat is to a reception hallway with broad arched opening into a square dining hall. Fold back astragal doors lead from here into an impressive south facing drawing room with tall sash and case windows flanked by working shutters and cast iron Juliet balconies overlooking the central gardens below. To the rear of the flat a fitted kitchen with large splayed astragal window overlooking a cobbled lane beneath accommodates a range of wall and floor units integrating a Samsung hob, oven and grill, Bosch dishwasher, Whirlpool washing machine and freestanding fridge freezer. The master bedroom, which also lies to the rear of the flat and benefits from magnificent splayed astragal windows believed to be the largest in the New Town Conservation Area, is a generously proportioned room fitted with twin wardrobes and a chest of drawers. A second double bedroom, also featuring fitted bedroom furniture, lies to the front of the flat and benefits from a similarly pleasant outlook to that of the adjacent drawing room through its floor to ceiling window, and is again fitted with an original Juliet balcony. A bathroom completes the principal accommodation. The flat benefits from excellent storage facilities including two store cupboards and extensive standing height floored overhead space in addition to a shared store at ground floor level.

The beautifully maintained private gardens fringing the crescent are for the sole use of its residents while access to the 13 acre Dean Gardens is available upon payment of a modest annual fee.
